Fragrant beams of life
dart quickly over my face
expanding the evidence
being leaves within the
softly carved lines of living.
Gentle ways elude me
as life rages past, tenderness
seeps not from soul.
Constant battles against
the shallow certainty of
pure living fester within
my poet's heart redeeming
pains, joys and fate.
Manic laughs tinkle
over the spirit wiping
away the evidence of sin.
And the sun rises
just after midnight
astonished by your
greedy darkness.
